Compiling & publishing BlackBerry WebWorks apps

Ripple was somewhat easy to get up and running. Except for the fact that it didn’t like the launch on Playbook option – it was checking some variable that wasn’t set, so it ended up trying to push C:\path\to\bar\file\undefinedfile.bar. It really concat-ed the term ‘undefined’ into the file path.

Another interesting/odd thing is that I had to sign the app to get it to install on the Playbook. Simply packaging it wasn’t enough – it rejected it with a “app author doesn’t match debug token author” error. (And the other interesting thing I found out was that it appears to upload your app to the BlackBerry servers to get signed. At least, when my connection dropped out for a bit, I got a “www.rim.com” error.)
